Previously:
After she was done she put me in front of the full length mirror. "You ready?" She smiled looking back into the mirror with me.
"For the first time for a while now, yes."
Bex rounded the corner, "You guys ready? They want us all to open for the junior varsity game." The only bad thing was we had to stay for the junior varsity game since it was first, but it was beginning to feel worth it.
They each took one of my hands and we walked out of the locker room and onto the field together, for our first game of our last year.
The music pulsed through my body as I moved to it like we had learned in practice. It's half time for the varsity team, and the boys are doing at least two times better than we thought they would. It also helps that the other school hasn't had a good team since the 70's.
The junior varsity girls sat down on a front bench, obviously jealous that they didn't make varsity. Even though junior varsity had a very good game and won by two touchdowns.
Josh looked even angrier sitting on the bench, watching someone else play his beloved position. While Zach was hotter in his uniform, which I didn't think was even possible, even if I was a little put off about him lying to our friends about kissing me. And as hard as I've been trying; I still can't forget about it.
Any of it, and that's what probably sucks the most.
And to top it off, I was practically forced to watch Zach and my brother work incredibly well together on the field. But I put a smile on my face and cheered my team on, because that's what cheerleaders are for.
~.~.~
After the game we all went out for pizza when Grant asked Zach and Nick to stay over or 'hang' as the guys like to say. I wasn't quite sure what to feel at that. Why are guys so confusing?
Mace asked me if I wanted to come over but I told her no. I couldn't just live life avoiding people when I was confused or not wanting to talk to them. And sadly I had homework I knew I wouldn't do over the rest of the weekend. But if I was going to be completely honest, the biggest reason I stayed home is I was hoping that I could catch Zach alone. Although I have no idea what I would say if I did.
Now I'm home and currently laying on my bed lazily filling out the last couple of questions from my French worksheet.
"I don't know about this man." I perked my head up at the voice
"You don't have to but…" This voice is definitely Grant's, which means he's putting one of his friends up to something.
"Yea, I know."
Knock. Knock.
I held my breath while hoping with all my might that it wasn't Zach. It wouldn't be anything good if my brother put him up to it.
I opened it and caught my breath a little bit. This could not be happening.
"Hey, Gallagher Girl." I'm tempted to just close the door; I know this is all Grant.
"Hi Zach."
He cocked his head adorably to one side, "No biting remark?"
I shook my head no. "What do you want Zach?"
He feigned sadness, "Can I come in?"
I opened the door wide as he stepped in and he closed it behind him.
"Is this the part of the movie where the mysterious man walks into the girls' bedroom and kills her with a chainsaw?"
He laughed, it was deep, throaty, and down right sexy. "There's the Cammie I know."
I smoothed my shirt out even though there was nothing wrong with it. I couldn't stand the awkward silence that enveloped us. Luckily, he saved it from being any longer.
"I wanted to talk to you…" He let it hang, gauging my reaction.
"Actually Grant wanted you to talk to me; I heard you guys out in the hallway." His reaction didn't change, and he didn't say anything either. "If this is a dare I can just go along with it, I've done it before with Grant's friends."
"It's not a dare…and Grant's not making me do or say anything."
"I'm confused. Out in the hallway it sounded like he was putting you up to something."
"I was hesitant about something, but he gave me the 'it's now or never' speech."
"Yea…he's pretty good at those." I wanted to ask him what he was hesitant about, but I didn't want to intrude and he probably wouldn't answer.
He smiled, which caught me off guard so much I almost fell back on my bed. I don't think I have ever seen him do anything, but smirk for the whole time I've known him. Which, granted, I have only known him for a week. "I was just wondering if you would maybe…wait!" He stopped abruptly with his question and grabbed something from his back pocket.
He brought out a single red rose with a note attached. He handed it to me, "Would you go to homecoming with me, Cammie?" He smiled a bit fuller; I could tell he was more confident now that he had given me the rose.
I smiled back, how could I say no to this? Plus, this must mean he had a good reason for lying about our closet kiss. I didn't want to go to homecoming, but that was before I had even thought about the possibility of Zach asking me. Maybe he felt something in that kiss too.
"Yes. I would love to go to homecoming with you Zach."
And then the smirk came back, "Great."
I'm sorry it's a day late! I'm going to be very busy this semester so that might push back my days of updating, but I will still try to update around once a week. I may have to start updating Mondays since Sundays are the only day I can write. Would you guys mind?
You are all soooo awesome, and I love you!
PLEASE REVIEW!
